1949 Map of Columbus SW

About this map

Prairie Chapel and its adjacent Prairie Chapel Cem stand as central landmarks in this rural landscape along the Divide Co Burke Co line. Surveyed in the late 1940s, the terrain is defined by the high-plains agriculture of the Border and Harmonius townships, punctuated by a series of numbered local schoolhouses including School No 1, School No 2, and School No 4. The northern reaches of the quadrangle reveal the regional industrial footprint with an active Strip Mine located within the Coalfield district. This map documents a transitional period in North Dakota's geography, showing the Missouri River Basin development era through the lens of traditional rural settlements, where family life centered around places like the South St Olaf Ch.
